A heard of cauliflower “rice”, for the first time, about a week ago in the blog The Minimalist Baker (highly recommended, by the way), and to tell you the truth, it sounded weird, like those healthy food recipes that sound great but taste not so great. I had many doubts but at the same time I was very curious … thankfuly it was a great aquisition to my recipes! The texture and flavor of the cauliflower “rice” is not the same as rice, so don’t expect to get rice, but it adds to the dish, everything that rice would with less than half the calories! Which will allow you to eat more of this dish (which believe me you will) without the guilt!

Another super tip is how to cook the tofu. Tofu can be boring if you don’t cook it right! (It happens to all of us!) What you have to do is first drain it very well, then pre-cook it in the oven for 25 minutes at 400F. This method will make your tofu crisp on the outside and soft on the inside! Then you stir-fry it with sauce and vegetables and get fried tofu without frying it! (another great Minimalist Baker tip)

The flavors of this dish are varied, as are the textures, but it managed to eliminate my Chinese food crave! … The Peanut Sauce is also very very good! Give it a try, and let me know if you liked it!
